If your trip to Gateshead is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a few hints and tips.
Make the short drive out of the center and spend an afternoon discovering Saltwell Park and Angel of the North. Need some more nearby options? Gateshead International Stadium is also worth swinging by.
Make your way over to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a popular close-by area. You'll come across lots of things to do here. Newcastle-upon-Tyne can be found about 2 miles from Gateshead.
Remember to pack the latest novel and perhaps even a kite. Gateshead has some excellent beaches you can go for a drive to, including:
Rent an intermediate car and experience the beautiful sights of Chester-le-Street with a few pals. These mid-size vehicles offer ample legroom and a larger trunk to store all your necessities. They have terrific gas mileage, so you can easily journey the 6 miles between Gateshead and downtown Chester-le-Street (and beyond!) without hurting your bank balance. If you'd rather indulge a little on your vacation, why not book a premium vehicle? Awesome extra features, such as heated leather seats and flashy infotainment systems, promise an incredible driving experience.
You'll be glad to know that there's a huge range of both economy and high-end rentals in Gateshead. What you end up going with is largely dependent on how much you're willing to spend and what you're hoping to do. Specialty vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you're splurging, why not go for an elite SUV, or perhaps a cushy medium-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you just need something to get you around town at the cheapest price possible, go for a budget compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).
